Okay but we know Sturges went poking around in that data from the network scanner holotape, right? How else would he have found a back door into the Institute?
Do you think he found the list of missing synths, too?
And do you think he got a little too curious about one of them, and opened the file?
And do you think… he perhaps had an identity crisis?
If you use console commands to kill him, he drops a synth component. In Fallout Shelter Online, which is beta-level canon but still relevant to me, he has the Synth trait and is listed as a Gen 3 that does not know his origins… Like Danse before Blind Betrayal.
His old man taught him everything he knows…but he never had an old man. If his whole life is a lie… What now?

what i think sturges thinks of the companions
my opinion is VERY valuable as the ceo of sturges subfandom /j
cait: he's lowkey scared of her , she flirts with him and he doesn't have it in him to tell her he's gay
codsworth: he likes codsworth ! performs maintenance on him when he gets all busted up
curie: he's so fascinated by her , they're the "out of place accent" buddies and they like talking about science and engineering together
danse: sturges actually kinda likes danse and has always been friendly to him , he was the person danse confided in after blind betrayal
deacon: he likes deacon , they're pals . they like to talk about eeeeverything together
dogmeat: sturges loves this little pooch and would protect him with his life. bends over backwards on the regular to give the dog treats
hancock: they're friendly and sturges doesn't mind him , the mechanic is happily welcomed every time he visits goodneighbor
maccready: sturges is also lowkey scared of mac solely because the man triggers his contamination obsessions 💀💀💀 he's still friendly towards him regardless
valentine: sturges LOVES nicky !!! worships the man , treats him like family , repairs him as well . nick helped him come to terms with his synthetic nature !
piper: he's skeptical of her and doesn't really appreciate her nosiness . he wouldn't leave his drink with her under any circumstances
preston: garvey is literally sturges' ride or die . they look after each other and revere one another in a sort of brotherly way (i don't ship them sorry)
strong: sturges is soooo fascinated by strong but treats him like he'd treat anyone else . sturges will listen to him talk about the milk of human kindness very intently
x6-88: he's SO scared of this dude . like would skitter behind a house if he saw him on the street
ada: REPAIRS HERRR !!!! sturges and ada are buddies and he thinks very highly of her , kinda like a sister . they have inside jokes
longfellow: sturges is so weirded out by this odd old man and will actively avoid him unless he wants to hear a story 😭
gage: tbh sturges doesn't mind gage that much but kinda wishes the guy would take a bath

So, I'm at the stage again where we're building our way into the Institute.
And it go me thinking about something...
"Look… I fix stuff. I tinker. Bypassing security ain't exactly my forte."
Tumblr media
Sturges, buddy, you can literally build a teleportation device from plans scribbled down by a big green dude, dig up information from a holo-tape (that you programmed to tap into the Institute's servers)...yet you're telling me you couldn't crack an old world museum terminal? aha...
"Yeah, I know what you're thinking. This guy's huge. Bet he could lift that minigun without stupid power armor. Nuh ah. No thanks. I don't do guns."
I'd put good caps on him deliberately flunking at hacking, knowing full well he's the only one with the knowhow and the capability to operate that suit of Power Armour! And he isn't about to say no if Preston or the others ask him for help.
So he's stalling! Doesn't want to be the one to "give those Raiders an express ticket to hell. You dig?"
When he meets the SoSu he doesn't know their history, but they wanna help so you bet he's selling the suit!
"A West Tek internalized servo-system, that's what. Inside that baby, super is the new normal. You'll be stronger, tougher, resistant to rads."
Hell I'll bet Mama Murphy even told him about her vision of the SoSu leaving the vault and coming to their rescue...and since Sturges was the only one to actually trust her visions enough to try and get some fire-support for Quincy, you bet he's gonna listen again!
So yeah...we all know those muscles are just for giving big bear hugs, big guy! But don't go pretending you can't bypass security!!
Have a Beau snap!

hear me out: sturges from fallout 4 writing a love letter would be filled with cheesy phrases
He struggles between being shy and being a romantic; I 100% agree with you about the cheesy phrases.
A Love Letter. The paper is faded yellow and torn at the edges but the hand writing is surprisingly easy to read. On the back is a smudge of dirt, from what you’re not too sure.
Welcome back. I figure this is going to take a while to find, not that I was hiding it! I just know you like to make sure things are runnin’ before you relax. I’m glad to see you made it back in one piece.
I’ve been thinking about what you said. That we only have one life and we gotta jump in with both feet. It’s one of the things I admire about you; your drive and constantly trying to keep moving. Not a lot of people here do that and I respect it.
That being said, here goes: You’re the apple of my eye. Every time I look at you my heart starts to pound. The sun only shines when you smile at me. I’m walking on air every time you laugh. I want you to be the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see before bed.
The first time I saw you, I thought you weren’t human. You had this fire in your eyes, along side the horror and I wanted you to live. To make it. And then you did that risky shit and I started to fall in love with you.
If you want to talk, let me know. Ball’s in your court. I won’t bring it up until you do. I needed to get it out and let you know how I feel. And something tells me you feel the same too.

`Danse: A therapist
`Macready: A friend

`Nick: An Old Timey Record Player
(mostly for aesthetics)
`Hancock: A loving Brother
`Codsworth: More Rust To Polish (sorry codsworth)
`Gage: He'd just be forced to sit down and talk about his feelings in a talk circle
(healing his trauma is a good present for everyone<3)
`Preston: A more Understanding Fanbase
`Sturges: ME
`Deacon: A full closet of just princess dresses
(he'd love them)
`X6-88: Emotional Range

“Saint Sturges in his church, looking to fix all the Commonwealth’s problems with duct tape.”
This is just some meta related to my Fallout 4 fanfic “Salvage, Salvation and Rust”, and some of the headcanons it explores regarding Sturges. If you have an interest in the character, I’d recommend reading that first before this. I felt like some of my interpretation of the character deserved some expansion, but that a lengthy author’s note would take away from the impact of the ending. So instead I’m putting my thoughts here:
As I was getting ready to post the fic, I almost felt like I needed to apologize for writing it. The character depicted in the story is very different than the Sturges we see. While building to the (hopeful) swerve of that realization was part of what made writing the story enjoyable, it was also something that I’ve been concerned some readers might find upsetting.
Before Maculategiraffe's fics secured my obsession with Deacon and X6-88 and the weird little vampire story that followed, the character I was really intrigued by was Sturges.
The original fic I set out to write, when I first played the game, was the story of Sturges discovering his (marginally canon) synth nature through the tape of stolen Institute data, and bonding with Danse over same. And I may still write that fic one day. But as I played through the ending of the game while plotting it, it struck me just how little we actually know about Sturges, which when measured against how key a role he plays in a Minutemen victory is kind of mind-boggling.
He's presented when we meet him as a simple wasteland tinkerer, a jovial, kindly, humble guy who insists he's not a fighter. But as the questline progresses, there's a lot that doesn't add up. In Concord, he needs you to go downstairs to hack a terminal claiming that kind of security is above his pay grade, but later he not only builds the Interceptor, he also hands you a holotape capable of data-mining the Institute's archives. Once that data is securied, he manages to locate an entrance to the Institute, manages to hijack their teleporters once more once inside, and he was more than likely the one who built that bomb you use to blow up the reactor at the end.
Weird that there's these hints in the game data, even loose ones that are never alluded to, that he might be a synth.
The idea struck me as supremely interesting. Not just that the Minutemen might have secretly had a synth on their side, but that he would have been the one to make their victory possible. You’re the one who pulls the trigger on the Institute’s destruction, but he’s the one who built the gun. He’s the one who put it in your hand. And no one says anything. No one even knows.
And maybe no one knows because he wants it that way.
A very different image of Sturges started to take shape in my mind. A version who knows exactly what he is. A version who had been placed as a spy in Quincy, a spy who came to love the people he had been put in place to betray, wrestling all the while with a quiet, strangled despair. A spy who spent years in an impossible situation, with no avenue for escape that wouldn’t end with him and the people he cared about dead or worse.
And then, one day, his long-thought-impossible freedom is handed to him in the worst possible way when the Gunners hit Quincy, creating a situation where the Institute almost certainly wrote him off as dead.
The Institute made a monster in the mold of a gentle man, and behind his seemingly guileless smile he's been waiting. And when the opportunity came he went on to make them pay for every horrible thing they ever made him do, using the very skills the Institute built him with to erase them from the map.

Look at dem! 🥺
A bit of a chapter WIP from my fic (Love in the Crosshairs) below the cut (Under 18? 👉🏻 Off you go. This isn't for you!)
"I gotcha, darlin," Sturges' words were a whisper, fingers stroking the nape of Mac's neck. 
Darlin’? That word alone sends him over the edge, his breath hitches and he’s trembling. "Beau, I—oh God—" MacCready gasps, holding tighter, his vision swimming as his hips thrust one final time.
“I gotcha,” Sturges lips graze Mac's temple as he holds him through his release, and his thumb brushes against MacCready’s cheek, leaving goosebumps in its wake. 
Sturges was warm, solid and safe beneath him, running a hand gently over the small of MacCready’s back. The following kiss was a gentle brush of their lips and the warmth felt different somehow, its tenderness leaving MacCready wanting to lose himself in every part of this moment and never let go.He closes his eyes, heartbeat steadying as the last tremors fade. 
They stay like that, holding one another for a while, chests pressed tightly, rising and falling with every synched breath, and when he next meets Beau’s gaze, Mac's chest tightens at the expression he finds there, the adoration in Sturges' eyes, unmistakable.
Sturges smiles, cupping his face in both hands as he turns,, his blue eyes capturing the warmth of the firelight from his bedside, a lazy grin tugging his cheeks upward, and he can’t look away, like he’s committing the other man’s face to memory: The way the light plays across the lines and planes of his Wasteland-weathered features, the slight part of his kiss-bruised lips, his tousled hair and gentle features..
It’s too real—too intimate. It wasn't supposed to be like this—he wasn’t supposed to be catching feelings. He swallows thickly. He needs space—needs to breathe.
